Decoration: Differs according to the various sections of the manuscript, but in general, there are red headings; red stroking of majuscules; red underlining; and 2- or 3-line red plain initials, sometimes with interior reserved shapes (mostly missing ff. 132v-148v and after f. 215r). Folios 151r-220r (art. 8) contain red numbering. Folio 1r contains red or blue 3- or 4-line flourished initials with interior reserved shapes and developed penwork in the contrasting colour, extending into the margin.
Binding: Original brown calfskin over bevelled oak boards, damaged, sewn on four leather thongs. Both covers are blind-tooled with frame, lozenge and triangle patterns; stamped with rosette, fleur-de-lys, star, "ihs", and dragon patterns. The remains of two leather straps are attached to the rear board, associated with pins (lost) on the front board. The endleaves are fragments of bifolia from a 14th cent. parchment liturgical manuscript. - Provenance
- Ownership inscriptions on the second flyleaf r and f. 1r; and a bookplate with initials "L.A." and a Greek inscription (LXX Gen. 2:17) on the inside of the front cover. Purchased on the Edwin J. Beinecke Fund.
